Pitching Prices

Our rates are per person per night, see price calendar for seasonal £ variations. Pitches are not allocated unless you book an electric pitch. Pets are NOT permitted and we do not sell or hire tents.

Campfire & BBQs

Only raised campfires and BBQs are allowed. Our fire baskets are available to hire and we sell logs and fire lighters in our site shop.

ANPR Barrier

For added security we operate an ANPR barrier system. You must therefore register your vehicle(s) on arrival, during office hours only, to gain access to the camping grounds.

Recycling

Keeping our campsite clean and green is important to us so we ask all guests to correctly recycle as much rubbish possible during your stay. Recycling and general wastebins are provided for this or you should take rubbish home to process correctly. Please always leave our campsite clean and tidy.

Toilets and Showers

Located centrally on the camping field our washrooms, toilet and showers are open 24/7 and included in the cost of your stay.

Beach

We have a gate opposite reception that gives our guests quicker access to Kingsdown beach during office hours. Getting to the beach takes about 5 minutes via a public footpath that follows the campsite perimeter. The beach is shingle but at low tide has many sandy stretches and rock pools which are great for kids of all ages.

Important Information

Please note - We do not allow 24 hour arrivals. We promote a family, not a festival, style atmosphere. Unlike most campsites that use a pitch system we allow you to choose where you want to camp but we limit availability to a maximum number of people. Once this number is reached we will not accept any more bookings for that period. This means our guests have plenty of space and avoid large queues for toilet & shower facilities especially during the busy summer months.

We do not accept any under 18s camping without an accompanying parent or adult guardian. Proof of age will be required for any groups that appear to be under 21 and unsupervised. Message to parents “Go camping with the kids/teens, you’ll love it, remember they’re only young once”.
